Michael Owen happy to play in three up front
MICHAEL OWEN believes that Newcastle United can succeed again with a three-pronged strike force – just like they did last season.
Lee RyderChief Newcastle United Writer
Get the latest NUFC updates, transfer and takeover news straight to your inbox for FREE by signing up to our newsletter
Under Kevin Keegan the Magpies unleashed Owen, Oba Martins and Mark Viduka in the same side, which helped secure Premier League safety after a miserable post-new year run which left them fighting for their top-flight lives.
United went a staggering 13 matches without a victory under both Sam Allardyce and Keegan until they turned the corner with a home victory under Fulham.
The turning point actually came in the game at Birmingham City when KK opted to field all three of the Toon's high-profile stars in the same team, and Owen rescued a point.
And after that Newcastle fired in 14 goals in just seven matches, with all three strikers getting among the goals.
Now with Viduka back fit following his comeback from an Achilles problem, the threesome can once again be united.
Owen told the Chronicle: "It's good that Dukes is back now.
"We did a good job last season and scored some cracking goals – we had our own special formation."
However, Owen knows other strikers can join in when everybody else is fit, and that there are plenty of players breathing down their necks in order to keep the pressure on.
He added: "In a way we are top-heavy in the striking department.
"We have seven people who can play there or do a job there.
"There is me, Oba, Dukes, Shola, Andy Carroll, Xisco and Alan Smith – they can all do a job.
"If you look at the centre-halves, maybe we have three or four. In centre midfield you have three recognised players.
"We are well served, but we've had a lot of injuries over the years.
"Alan Smith is out at the minute, Shola has had injuries, and so have I.
"It's only Oba that has been consistently fit."
Sam Allardyce

The Directorate of the International Institute of HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis sincerely congratulates all personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the Day of Defender of Ukraine. We are grateful for your dignity and patriotism, public activity and dedication and love for Ukraine.
Taking this opportunity we would like to inform you that the first copy of manual on the prevention of tuberculosis has already been received by the personnel of two military mobile hospitals performing tasks in the area of the United forces operation.
The booklet provides brief information abought healthy individuals avoid infection with a TB agent and briefly describes the current presentation of tuberculosis epidemiology. This information will be useful for patients and their relatives and staff conducting controlled outpatient treatment.
Dissemination of information and raising public awareness about infectious diseases is one of the most important issues in counteracting its spread. On the website of the Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine was published the results of an all-Ukrainian study conducted by GFK Ukraine, a sociological company commissioned by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behavioral settings of the population of Ukraine about HIV / AIDS.
Special attention was paid to two focal regions: Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye, as well as age categories from 15 to 24 years. And 2260 interviews were conducted.
According to the results of the study, in 2017, the number of people who have never passed the HIV test fell considerably: 58% of the population of Ukraine, compared with 64% in 2016. Also, in 2017, the number of people who passed the family doctor test (from 5% in 2016 to 10% in 2017 among the Ukrainian population).
At the same time, only 50% of the Ukrainian population would have shown an initiative and offered a new partner to use a condom (the share of such decreased, compared with 57% in 2016).
The issue of combating tuberculosis, among the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and among the civilian population, is one of the priority areas of state policy in the sphere of health and social development and, moreover, is the subject of international obligations. The effective control of TB infection requires a significant revision of the organization of anti-TB care in order to reduce the burden of infection in society and create safe conditions for the treatment of patients and the work of medical personnel.
It was for this purpose that the director of the International NGO "International Institute of HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis" Eliot J. Pearlman introduced a methodological manual in the form of a workbook for medical personnel with a short algorithm of action in case of fixation in a patient's hospital with similar symptoms.
The first part (100 copies) within 10 days will be sent to the military mobile hospital performing tasks in the area of the United Nations.
In the 10th regional sanitary and epidemiological departments, the sanitary and educational work among the military units continues. The officers of the epidemiological department distribute information posters and postcards for information on diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV infection, hepatitis B and C.
Also, for the greater interest and ease of perception of information about sexually transmitted infections, with the assistance of the International NGO "International Institute of HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis" was developed and published information cards. Now these information cards are distributed among the personnel.
Thus, the leadership of the 1004th separate battalion of guard and servicing of the Land Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted classes on sexually transmitted infections. The work was carried out using materials provided by the Institute, and after training among the staff was distributed personal protective equipment - condoms.

A diagram depicting potential projects as part of the Fossil Basin Area Master Trail Plan. The current plan aims to connect the existing trails in the greater Kemmerer-Diamondville area.
The Lincoln County Planning and Engineering Office is working with the city of Kemmerer, the town of Diamondville and Avenue Consultants to conduct a study of existing trails in the area and create a master plan for improvements and construction of new trails.
This study will help create a comprehensive master plan to enhance trails and bicycle/pedestrian routes in the greater Kemmerer-Diamondville area. The study will also update the Safe Routes to School plan.
The project is 80 percent funded by a grant from the Wyoming Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
Lincoln County Engineer Amy Butler has informed the county commissioners that the plan will identify gaps in trail connectivity and barriers to creating and improving area trails.
Work on the comprehensive plan officially started in May 2018, when the Lincoln County Commissioners awarded the Fossil Basin Area Master Trail Plan project to Avenue Consultants (an engineering company based out of Taylorsville, Utah) for $39,953.
Current paved trails in the area are the Canyon Road trail and the Golf Course trail. Current unpaved trails in the area include the dirt trail at the Diamondville Fishing Pond and the gravel Hams Fork River trail.
The draft project list for the Fossil Basin Area Master Trail Plan includes eight new bike lanes, five new paved trails, two new unpaved trails, three new sharrows (street markings indicating where cyclists should travel) and refreshing pavement markings. The drafted project list is included below.
The study estimates the highest anticipated project cost to be for the construction of a new unpaved Hillside Trail. That project would total $1,356,000.
The group gathered public input on the trail plan at a home football game in October 2018 and at the Community Health Fair on March 30, 2019. The county and the consultants received surveys from August to November of 2018. The group received 94 completed surveys from the community about the Master Trail Plan.
Survey questions sought information from residents about when and how often they walk and bike in the community.
Twenty-seven survey respondents indicated that they had biked or walked in the community in the last two days, and 24 respondents had walked or biked in the area in the last week. Only four respondents said they had never walked or biked in the Kemmerer-Diamondville community.
Seventy-one survey respondents said they walked or biked for exercise, 34 said it was for recreation, and 17 said it was part of their work commute. Most survey respondents said they walked and biked during the summer months from May to August.
Survey respondents seemed to agree that the current trails serve their purpose, but more connectivity between trails would be welcome.
Other suggestions from the public for the Master Trail Plan included wayfinding signs to connect the area trails and more sidewalks for safe travel.
Also part of this project is the Big Spring Scenic Backway Master Plan. It addresses potential projects on the 68-mile backway that separates Kemmerer and Cokeville through the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
At a recent Friends of the Bridger-Teton public input meeting, Lincoln County engineer Amy Butler discussed improvements that could be made to the Big Spring Scenic Backway and site, including improving the road and trail access, repairing the bridge, and offering better parking and a picnic area. More information on the progress of the Fossil Basin Area Trail Master Plan, including videos of the current bike lanes on Canyon Road and the Big Spring Scenic Backway, can be found at tinyurl.com/fossilbasin.
"The paths and walks that have been developed over the years have improved conditions for pedestrians and cyclists... but do not represent a connected system or network that serves non-motorists throughout the community," the project description reads.


The Australian Men's team will play five ODI matches against Pakistan starting in Sharjah on March 22.
"The National Selection Panel has named an unchanged squad for the upcoming tour against Pakistan in the UAE.
"The squad has started this tour well against a very good Indian side, they won the T20I Series and have pushed the hosts in the opening two matches of the ODI series in challenging sub-continent conditions.
"The squad is making pleasing progress ahead of the World Cup, and with three matches remaining in India and the five match series against Pakistan to come, we believe they will benefit further from the continuity of playing together.
"Despite returning to Australia last week, Kane Richardson has been included in the squad as we monitor his recovery from the left side strain injury. We are hopeful he will recover in time for the Pakistan series.
Hohns also clarified the rationale behind Steve Smith and David Warner's non-selection for the final two matches of the Pakistan Series.
"While their bans will be finished on March 28, Steve and David have been working through rehabilitation from elbow surgery and it has been agreed the best pathway for them to return to play is in the Indian Premier League, a strong competition which features some of the world's best players.

Unemployment rate in Scotland drops
The unemployment rate in Scotland has fallen to 3.9%, slightly below the UK as a whole.
Office for National Statistics figures for June to August put the jobless total north of the border at 106,000 - down from 120,000 in the previous quarter.
The unemployment rate was down from 4.3% in the previous three months and is just below the UK-wide rate of 4%.
Meanwhile, the number of Scots aged 16 to 64 in employment during the quarter was 2,551,000 (74.9%) - down from 2,570,000 (75.5%) in the previous three months.
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said: "There are now 132,000 fewer people unemployed in Scotland than the recession peak and we continue to outperform the UK on both employment and unemployment rates for women and young people.
"While these results show a decrease in employment, our employment rate has increased over the longer term and remains high by historical standards.
"We have 71,000 more people in employment compared with the pre-recession peak.
"Despite the ongoing risks posed by Brexit, our ambitious economic strategy will create the right environment for job growth.
"This includes commitments on the Scottish National Investment Bank and Manufacturing Institute, and in this year's Programme for Government we have committed to the biggest infrastructure spending Scotland has ever seen."
Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "It is welcome news that the number of people out of work and looking for a job in Scotland has fallen.
"However, there is no room for complacency as economic activity in Scotland is falling.
"The Scottish Government needs to focus on using its extensive powers and work with us on ensuring that Scotland's economy thrives."

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." — James Baldwin
Southern Cultures stands in solidarity with the many thousands of protesters across the South, the nation, and the world who are sickened by the brutal murders of George Floyd in Minnesota, Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, only the latest in a long line of Black Americans to lose their lives at the hands of the police. Communities of conscience are calling, with unified voices, for an end to police and paramilitary violence against Black and Indigenous people and people of color, and for a true reckoning with the bitter legacies of white supremacy.
We hope this moment will bring forth radical change for good, and we express our love, gratitude, and support for Black lives, and for the many Black voices and stories that have graced, and will always grace, the pages of Southern Cultures. We will continue to listen to and learn from our communities of color, to share their knowledge, and to elevate their voices in our pages and in our leadership, collaborations, consultation, and friendship.
In the coming days, we also commit to sharing resources from BIPOC in a spirit of inquiry, critique, and truthful reflection. That spirit has guided Southern Cultures in examining our home region for the last twenty-five years and will be essential to the actions our country must take to ensure justice and end racial violence. Advancing equity and justice is our collective duty, and a choice. We must face this work together. #BlackLivesMatter

This wasn't going to go well. Leave it to me to find a girlfriend with possibly the richest family in Passerine County. By possibly, I mean probably, and by probably I mean her name is Eliza Passerine.
Eliza slid her hand into mine.
We approached a silver ornate gate with an enormous metal box attached to the left side.
The gate trembled then split apart. I drove through, my knuckles whitening against the steering wheel. Ahead of the gate was a long, unending road flanked by tall overpowering forests on both sides.
"Oh, no," I said, looking ahead.
The path broke into a wide concrete space. The mansion, if it could even be called that, was one of hugest, brightest, most luxurious-looking buildings I had ever seen in my life. That wasn't even the best part. Her parents were standing outside waiting for us.
I parked near the fountain to give myself time to calm down before we reached the front door.
We got out of the car and started walking hand-in-hand.
"Mom!" She abandoned my hand and went to hug her mother.
That left the father to visually assault me. He peered at me with no expression at all like a lion quietly wondering whether this particular zebra was worthy of sinking his teeth into.
"So how long have you been two together now?" said her father as we all sat down at the table the size of my kitchen.
Eliza squeezed my hand under the table while still looking ahead. I started sweating. The servers started removing the service plate covers and a cascade of smells smashed into my nose. My eyes landed on a Gouda platter.
"I do, too," smiled her father. I smiled back.

Majority of Tory MPs oppose forcing abortion on Northern Ireland
Nick Hallett
An overwhelming majority of MPs in Britain's governing Conservative Party reject Westminster imposing permissive abortion laws on Northern Ireland.
A survey by ComRes found that 72 per cent of the party's MPs oppose holding a House of Commons vote on legalising the practice in Northern Ireland, while only 9 per cent support the idea. The poll also found that 72 per cent thought it would be a "betrayal of devolution" for Westminster to impose abortion on the province.
ComRes interviewed 150 MPs between 1 and 28 March 2018, and weighted the data to be representative by party, region and length of service.
The results were released a day after a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said the government would leave the decision to a future Northern Irish Assembly.
"It is important to recognise that the people of Northern Ireland are entitled to their own process, which is run by locally elected politicians," the spokesman said.
"Our focus is restoring a democratically accountable devolved government in Northern Ireland so that locally accountable politicians can make decisions on behalf of the public they represent."
The Prime Minister came under pressure from a small group of MPs within her own party to impose abortion on Northern Ireland in the wake of the referendum in the Republic.
The Labour Party then joined the calls, however one of their MPs has warned against the move. Mary Glindon, MP for North Tyneside, said: "The fact is that Northern Ireland, is a devolved administration and this remains a devolved issue that has to be decided by Stormont."
"When full democracy is returned to Stormont then, I have no doubt, after this historic vote in the Republic of Ireland, the matter will be raised in the Northern Irish Assembly," she added. "But, taking any action on abortion rights will be a decision for the people of Northern Ireland, not for the UK Government, and, whatever our personal views on abortion, we must respect their right to exercise their devolved powers."
The mutant ideology that's driving MPs to impose abortion on Northern Ireland
The 'alt-liberals' are all-knowing, self-regarding and autocratic
Labour waters down Northern Ireland abortion pledge
The party had pledged to legalise the practice in the province without mentioning the Northern Ireland Assembly
Labour's draft manifesto promises to legalise abortion in Northern Ireland
The party has yet to clarify whether it would implement the change during a period of direct rule, or whether it would impose it on a sitting Northern Ireland Assembly

ABC News' "20/20" and Lone Wolf Studios filmmakers present a two-hour broadcast, "20/20: In the Cold Dark Night," on the story of Timothy Coggins' murder. Coggins, a young black man, was brutally murdered in 1983 in a small Georgia town due, in part, to his relationship with a white woman.
This is a project that Roundtable have been involved in for over 2 years, initially helping by colour grading and mixing a teaser before coming back on-board for final post in July 2020.
The requirement was to turn around the feature length documentary in record time, whilst legal edits were still taking place. It was also necessary to work remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Producer Max Peltz said "You were with us from the very beginning when we were finalising the sales trailer. That was early-2018! Thank you to the whole team for the efforts to get this over the line."

Production worked closely with ABC to lock parts of the programme which allowed the edit to continue whilst the finishing post was happening. Any further changes made to locked parts were then tracked by mixdowns.
The offline edit cut with stems provided by the sound designer so we were able to import their ProTools sessions and use EdiLoad to re-conform their previous sound design sessions. We were conforming 200+ tracks of audio work in minutes allowing maximum flexibility in the mix and keeping the creative intent of the year-long offline edit.
We were able to achieve sign-off quickly and efficiently due to the development of trust over numerous previous projects as well as our time spent working together on the trailer. Production gave a clear brief and encouraged us to do our own thing creatively before they reviewed, knowing that there was minimal time for feedback.
In all, the finishing post was turned around in just 3 days.
The result is a powerful and important documentary.
Whilst shot in 24p, this delivery was standards converted via our in-house Alchemist XF system to 59.94p and delivered in XDCAM50 with in-built stems to allow for any deadline day changes to be able to be made in New York.
You can read more about the case over at GQ and, if you're in the US, watch it over on abc 20/20 or on Hulu.
Truly couldn't have done this without you and your incredible team. Roundtable ALWAYS delivers!

The media has launched an assault against healthy lifestyles and some popular dietary supplements. The public has been thrust into a state of confusion by these frenzied media reports that contradict long-established scientific principles.
What you are about to read might at first seem unbelievable. Please remember, however, that the studies we describe were conducted by mainstream doctors who know virtually nothing about natural ways to prevent and treat disease.
As you will also find out, many of the doctors who designed and authored these flawed studies received financial compensation from the very pharmaceutical companies that stood to gain the most by deriding low-cost natural approaches to disease prevention.
Media says: Eat all the fat you want.
The study that this headline story was based on, however, failed to differentiate between health-promoting fats (such as monounsaturated and omega-3 fats) and lethal trans fats. 3-5 It was long ago established that over-consumption of trans fats is related to atherosclerosis, cancer, and chronic inflammation. 6-12 Furthermore, there was no attempt to measure the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Most Western diets contain an abundance of omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., corn, safflower oils) and completely inadequate levels of omega-3 fatty acids (such as fish oil, flaxseed, and walnut oils).
The "excuse" some researchers gave when confronted with these flaws was that when the low-fat studies were designed, doctors did not know the difference between friendly and deadly fats. The facts are that when these studies were designed, there was an abundance of published scientific data to show that friendly fats like olive oil 13-35, flax oil 36-43, and fish oil 44-57 conferred life-saving benefits while trans fats were proven killers.
Researchers also were unable to rigorously monitor whether or not the participants actually followed low-fat diets. Food-intake questionnaires were used, which are notoriously unreliable indicators of food intake.
In what is perhaps the most outrageous defect in these studies, only 1 in 7 women actually achieved the low-fat diet threshold! Specifically, only 14.4% of the "low-fat" group really followed a low-fat diet. Furthermore, the average reduction in total fat intake in the "low-fat group" was only 8.2% (with just a 2.9% decrease in saturated fat intake). Assuming that this paltry 8.2% figure is accurate (i.e., that the food questionnaires were completely accurate), this number does not come close to the percentage of fat-calorie reduction other studies have shown is needed to reduce disease risk.
These flaws rendered this multimillion-dollar low-fat diet study worthless. This did not stop major newspapers, however, from featuring articles on their front pages stating that reduced-fat diets provide no health benefits.
We at Life Extension initially thought this negative finding was because the active group was not given magnesium, zinc, manganese, and other nutrients that are essential to maintaining optimal bone density.
When we got our hands on the study itself, we were startled to find that the women in the study who actually took their calcium and vitamin D supplements suffered 29% fewer hip fractures. 58 This was contrary to what the headlines said. It turned out that the media believed the government's negative press release and obviously did not read the actual scientific study.
In this study to evaluate the efficacy of calcium and vitamin D compared to placebo, it was startling to learn that many women in the active arm did not take their calcium-vitamin D supplements! According to the study report, about 40% of the women assigned to take calcium and vitamin D did not achieve a standard rate of compliance with their supplements!
The "study medication" mentioned above is the calcium-vitamin D supplement. The fact that a study could be published in a medical journal "regardless" of whether the participants actually took the active ingredient defies logic. The application of common sense would invalidate the findings of this study, regardless of what statisticians might argue.
Further confounding the study results were previously unheard-of rules that allowed the placebo group to take multi-vitamin, calcium, and vitamin D supplements on their own if they wanted. It turned out that many in the placebo group were taking calcium and vitamin D. According to the study design, since they were part of the placebo arm, they were officially not taking calcium-vitamin D supplements, even though many of them were indeed taking calcium-vitamin D.
The fact that the placebo group was freely allowed to take multivitamins, calcium and vitamin D meant that many of the placebo participants may have consumed more bone-protecting nutrients (including boron, magnesium, zinc, and manganese) than the active group (who were supposed to be taking only calcium and vitamin D). By failing to separate who was really taking bone-protecting supplements, it was impossible draw a scientific conclusion, yet the media boldly asserted that there was no difference in the hip fracture rate in the group assigned the calcium-vitamin D supplements (many of whom were not taking their supplements) as compared to the placebo group (many who were consuming calcium, vitamin D, and other bone-protecting supplements).
Not only was the placebo group allowed to take their own calcium, vitamin D, and other bone-maintenance supplements, but both groups were also allowed to take drugs (bisphosphonates and calcitonin) and hormone therapies that are known to prevent bone loss and restore bone density. In this study that the Federal government spent over $10 million funding, virtually anything was allowed.
As you will read in the June 2006 issue of Life Extension magazine, there are even more serious flaws in this calcium-vitamin D study than what I just described, but it is safe to state that this may have been one of the most poorly designed studies in the history of modern medicine. This did not stop the media from turning it into one of the main headline news stories of the day.
Millions of American women will discard their calcium and vitamin D supplements based on these false and misleading headlines. This is great news for pharmaceutical companies that sell expensive drugs to treat osteoporosis.

Colliding neutron stars: Graphics and computer simulation images
The merger of two neutron stars on August 17, 2017, generated gravitational waves detected by LIGO and a bright kilonova observed by UC Santa Cruz astronomers and others. The merger drove the synthesis of heavy elements such as gold and platinum, and UCSC researchers calculate that neutron star mergers can account for about half of all the elements heavier than iron in the universe. (Credit: Illustration by Robin Dienel courtesy of the Carnegie Institution for Science)
The violent merger of two neutron stars is thought to involve three main energy-transfer processes, shown in this diagram, that give rise to the different types of radiation seen by astronomers, including a gamma-ray burst and a kilonova explosion seen in visible light. As the two stars spiral toward one another and merge to form a "hyper-massive" neutron star, a small fraction of the matter is ejected in a tidal tail (labeled "red component" in the diagram). The merger generates a short gamma-ray burst resulting from twin jets of material moving out from the rotational poles of the merger at close to the speed of light, likely triggered after the collapse of the remnant onto a black hole. In addition, an intense outflow of neutrinos from the hyper-massive neutron star drives a wind of material moving at about one-tenth the speed of light (labeled "blue component" in the diagram). The blue and red wavelengths that dominate the light from the kilonova at different stages result from different elements in the ejected material, which is heated by radioactive decay processes. (Image credit: Murguia-Berthier et al., Science)
Material ejected during the merger of two neutron stars is thought to give rise to the visible light seen as a kilonova. The structure of the ejected material is shown in these snapshots from computer simulations, which show the ejecta close to the time when the kilonova emission is produced and at two different orientations (orbital plane on the bottom, perpendicular to the orbital plane on top). The structure of the ejecta depends on the relative masses of the merging objects, with two neutron stars of equal mass shown on the far right. For the merger observed on August 17 (SSS17a), calculations predict a mass ratio close to 0.8. (Image credit: E. Ramirez-Ruiz)

Discovery of SSS17a
The search strategy of the 1M2H team involved prioritizing the galaxies within the search field indicated by the LIGO team, targeting those most likely to harbor binary pairs of neutron stars, and getting as many of those galaxies as possible into each field of view. The team found the source in the ninth field they observed, after waiting 10 hours for the sun to set in Chile. (Credit: 1M2H Team/UC Santa Cruz & Carnegie Observatories/Ryan Foley)

Simulation of Gamma-ray Burst
A short gamma-ray burst was detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope two seconds after LIGO detected gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars. A gamma-ray burst is one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. The emission comes from a jet moving at velocities near the speed of light. This video shows how the jet can propagate through the neutrino-driven wind from the merger of two neutron stars. It is a density plot, where green is more dense and the jet is shown in red.
Kilonova Model Animation
Theoretical calculation of the blue and the red light from a kilonova, compared to observational data for the transient SSS17a associated with GW170817. The data agrees with theoretical predictions that the blue light should fade quickly over days, but that red light should persist for weeks after the merger. The right panel shows an illustration of the expanding radioactive debris cloud ejected from a neutron star merger that gives rise to the light. Lighter elements in the outer polar regions give rise to quickly fading blue light. Heavier elements in a surrounding donut and spherical core produce longer lasting red light.

Your morning cup of joe contributes to six million tonnes of spent coffee grounds going to landfill every year. In this article, there are a lot of opportunities to cycle your used coffee grounds become something valuable and something you can use again.
Coffee's chemical composition offers you various of use besides just to brew it.
It range from biofuels, health products and fertiliser for farms or your garden so you shouldn't be throwing away the used coffee grounds away. The processing and production can be more complex than you expect and recycling could turn coffee waste to something valuable for your health and even your home.
Some coffee shops now offer free spent coffee grounds for customers so they can use it for their own good. It's very beneficial for humans but harmful for several plants. The used coffee should be detoxified by composing grounds for a minimum 98 days for plants to gain potassium and nitrogen contained in the roasted beans. Remember not to just sprinkle around the coffee grounds to your plants, you have to compost it first.
Composted coffee grounds are very helpful in economical way because it's cheaper than ever, also more sustainable. More businesses have begun processing coffee grounds for commercial purposes positioning them as nutrient rich fertilisers or soil conditioners for garden.
But the chlorogenic acid is very valuable. Even though it might be harmful for plants,but it's rich of antioxidant for humans and neuroprotective properties. The whole coffee production process is rich in chlorogenic acid, especially in raw coffee beans. Chlorogenic acid conversion efficiency is even better from green coffee pulp, with a 50% recovery rate, compared with 19% for spent coffee grounds.
Imperfect beans which are undersized or crack would be discarded at raw stage, many businesses are rising to have the opportunity into the market of green beans. They're good for weight loss and many women have used it.
It's not just that. The waste of coffee can be used to create a diverse list of chemicals like enzymes and for digestion of biological compounds, also to improve plant growth. Coffee oil has even been used as a fuel for London buses.
With tons of waste supplies everyday in all coffee shops all over the world, recycling it would be a good choice and we all can enjoy our cup of coffee without too much guilt for also caring about the environment.
Which is Better: Instant or Whole Bean Coffee?


We do this for our 6 children. Our great grandparents, parents, and my generation (baby boomers) have impacted this world enough. Now its up to the next generation to fix. We are doing our part to help.
I'm trying to open a discussion with you. Would you be so kind as to accept my request?
I also want to invite you to GadgetmansMarketplace.Ning.com and put up the resources you have to share.
Gambit, have you found a good reliable electrolyte yet?
Question: What is the PWM referred to with the schematic above? What would it be used for with our HHO cells?
Hey sorry I missed you message I was away from the computer. What do you need?
I have question if I was setting up a plate cell -n+ what would the polarity be on the neutral. is it n on the n side and + on the + side or does it reverse itself.
I just created a catalyst forum and posted an article that you might be interested in.
I built and use the PWM with currant limit control from the www.alt-nrg.org site. It limits the maximum currant in the cell to whatever you set it at.
Very good circuit. By the way, he is going to sell a circuit board for it, just add the parts.
I'm private too I understand. I would rather you go slow and be sure than fast and have someone get hurt.


This weekend, The Saban Free Clinic held its annual fundraiser Extravaganza for the Senses, a Food and Wine event benefiting the clinic and its cause of providing free health care to those in need. The event was held at the Sunset Gower Studio with the Hollywood Sign as a gorgeous backdrop. The event was really well planned and featured unlimited samples from 40 LA restaurants and over 100 wineries. Thanks to the ladies at The Saban Free Clinic (Angela and Sayra), we received VIP Media Passes that allowed us an extra hour before the event was opened up to regular ticket holders. I invited my sister along who was here on holiday because I thought it'd be fun for her to enjoy the night out without screaming kids.
I love these plate-and-wine holders that they handed out at the entrance. This is crucial so you'll only have to use one hand to hold on to your plate and wine. Your other hand is free to snap photos of the event.
Food and wine stands lined the streets of the studio lot. They have high tables set up in the center where you could rest your plate on from time to time, and mingle with other guests.
The VIP lounge was a great place to take refuge from the sun and to rest your legs in the seated area. They also offered free massages from Bliss Spa.
As usual, I was always on the lookout for bubbly. Laetitia Winery located in the Arroyo Grande Valley in San Luis Obispo County had a nice sparkling wine and chardonnay.
You can never go wrong with the real thing - Piper Heidsieck Champagne.
Schramsberg is a winery located in Napa Valley and they offered a Blanc de Blanc. A bit sweet.
A dry Brut from Marc Hebrart.
After I exhausted all the bubbly, I went on to try some wine including some reds.
My sister really enjoyed this Rioja, and that's a lot coming from someone who used to live in Barcelona.
Absolut was there, offering cocktails including this refreshing Absolut Berri Acai Fizz (2 parts Absolut Berri Aacai and 4 parts lemon-lime soda).
One of my favorites of the night. Jay Weston (The Huffington Post) shared my table for a split second. I was star struck and was too nervous to introduce myself. So instead I asked him what his favorites were and he mentioned the lasagna. I haven't had lasagna in over 5 years (bad cheese experience left me hating cheese) so I was nervous to try this. But hey, if Jay Weston recommends, you eat. I really enjoyed the lasagna because it was just good ole Italian home cooking, just like what you would find at the restaurant. It's simple but yet left you wanting more. The meat ragu was rich but thankfully the bechamel and cheese topping was light.
This stand was only offered in the VIP Lounge. I had never heard of Reservoir until that day. The restaurant is located in Silverlake. The tempura was delicious. It wasn't greasy and the panko was still crunchy. The crunchy salad was lightly dressed and topped with a spicy jalapeno. It was a good thing I didn't hang out too long in the lounge as I would have kept going back for more tempura.
There was no shortage of heavy, braised meats.
I was excited to see Momed at the event because I've been meaning to check out the new restaurant. The duck was tender and the mint added a freshness to the heavy meat. I liked that they used a nice soft pita to hold the duck which made it a great finger food.
The flavors were good and the lamb was tender. I liked the polenta which was creamy and took on the flavor of the lamb jus.
Brats Brothers serves gourmet sausages in Sherman Oaks. I enjoyed both sausages that I selected (there were about 7-8 offered) as they were juicy, tasted lean and were flavorful. Unfortunately, they didn't poke the sausages before grilling so when my sister bit into one, juices projectile-squirted onto some guy's white shirt and bald head. He wasn't too happy about it and his girlfriend was definitely not happy about it. Oops. This can be kindda dangerous, not only for your wardrobe but the juices can scald your tongue too if it's not slowly released from the brat. Apart from the soiled shirt, the brats were a winner. Unfortunately the pretzel bread was a bit stale.
There was a lot of sauce going on, perhaps a bit too much. The gentleman beside us managed to get it all over his shirt. But I did appreciate the tenderness of the meat and the brioche that soaked in the sauce.
I liked the samosa which they fried on the spot so it was hot when served. Bombay Cafe used to be my local dinner spot (they are located at Pico and Bundy in West LA). I've always enjoyed my meals there but somehow haven't been back in a long time. They gave us a coupon which I guess will give me good reason to visit.
There were many little bite-sized portions offered that made it easy to sample food without having to use two hands.
The components worked well together. The walnut lent a nice crunch, and the balsamic and melon sweetened the salty prosciutto.
This was my sister's favorite. She enjoyed the combination of the date and the blue cheese which was mild.
It was amazing how long the line was for Sushi Roku. It was long no matter what time it was and it never subsided. It's interesting because even though the hand rolls were tasty, they weren't anything different or exciting.
The chicken was cooked tender. Somehow I wasn't expecting Jar to serve a chicken salad since I've always been a fan of their heavier meat dishes. It would have been nice if they topped their signature pot roast on a crostini. Wishful thinking..
I liked the toasted coconut and the crunch from the peanuts and fried onions, but I thought there was a lot going on in the salad. But in their defense, it was a refreshing summer salad.
I was delighted when I noticed the Breadbar stand.
They had samples of my favorite financiers (I still have a bag that I bought from Breadbar three days earlier). These things are addictive!
Desserts were abundant at the event.
So pretty that it was painful to eat them. Unfortunately the truffles were slowly melting in the heat.
You can't go wrong with the combo of ice cream and strawberry shortcakes. Even though it was a relatively warm night, the ice cream held well.
Dr. Bob's is only offered at specialty stores and markets (Surfas, Vicente Foods, The Wine House, select Gelson's). I like ordering just a simple vanilla flavor as that you can really tell how good the quality of an ice cream is. I enjoyed the Tahitian Vanilla flavor which was so rich and creamy that I couldn't even get through a scoop.
Chocolate from Mickey Fine Pharmacy & Grill. My sister pocketed some for her son.
The event wasn't just all about food and booze. There were auctions to raise funds for the clinic.
There was also a Mystic section that offered Henna tatoos, tarot card readings and fortune telling. I know it's all in the name of fun but I'm not really into these things. My sister got a tarot card reading while I stood a couple feet away.
FAAAARK. you're too fast stuffy, too fast for me.
looks and sounds like a great event! strawberry shortcake on a stick looks divine! never a shortage of things to do in LA.
PS: your sis has GREAT taste, cuz Cafe Was' fried lardon was my fave too.
Tasting events aren't my favorite, but gosh so much there looks good. The bleh cheese & medjool date looks delicious. I am surprised because the chef at Cafe Was looks so hapless on Top Chef this season. Get into Reservoir... Their food's delicious!!!
Fun seeing you (very briefly) there! Wish we could have chatted more, but it was a great event! The lasagna was actually a bit cold when I tried it so it was actually one of the more disappointing dishes for me! I'd like to try it when it's piping hot at the restaurant.
haha, i like how your sister soiled some bald guy's head with wiener juice.
sinosoul - glad to bump into ya.
strawberry shortcake was one of my favorites. Perfect for a summer day.
weezermonkey - you shoulda gone!
foodshethought - Reservoir is on my list! Need to try sampling more restos in the eastside.
Diana - good seeing u! bummer about the lasagne. cold cheese & bechamel no good!
addendum: screaming kid! as thing 2 is an angel. thanks for the night out. had a great laugh what with the spurting sausage and psychic.

Q: What do I need to do to get my microphone detected? I tired to make a simple "voice to text" program in python. It's not a difficult task as I see, but my code doesn't work. I don't get any error or warning messages, the program doesn't detect my voice in PyCharm. I checked my microphone, and it's working.
My code:
import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
    print("Speak Anything :")
    audio = r.listen(source)
    try:
        text = r.recognize_google(audio)
        print("You said : {}".format(text))
    except:
        print("Sorry could not recognize what you said")

Home People Conversations How an Unknown Call Catapulted a Journalist's Career to New Heights
How an Unknown Call Catapulted a Journalist's Career to New Heights
Ritika
Swagata Majumdar - Boyaam
"I love the voice—it's the most perfect instrument ever heard. It's god-given"
This quote by internationally recognized India-based song composer and singer AR Rehman reflects the human voice's beauty and elegance. It shows how a warm and calm voice attracts people towards itself and imparts a feeling of being connected to god. The same is true for Swagata Majumdar, an international voiceover artiste and Emcee for over 17 years, who treats her voice as a God-given gift. She believes that her voice's natural warmth was the prime driving factor in her career as a Radio Jockey (RJ) and Voice Coach. But her career in the entertainment and media industry began as a journalist who wanted to change the world through her stories and feature articles. Although a Science student in school, Swagata decided to take a different path from all her friends and classmates when she enrolled to study journalism. She says that the ongoing Kargil war was a major influence on her choice of education. However, the real twist in her life came in 2005 when she received a call from an unknown number with great news.
Winning Ibda'a Award for A Documentary on Communal Riots
"The lady caller told me that I'm invited to Dubai for Ibda'a Award in the name of His Highness of Dubai. They wanted me to arrange my passport as soon as I can and attend the award ceremony," exclaims Swagata. For her and many media students like her, the Ibda'a award is a huge affair, which caters to recognizing exceptional talents in media to promote their work in the industry. The unexpected call to Swagata was in response to her project submission based on communal riots between Hindu-Muslims in India.
Being a small-town girl, Swagata had no idea how to conduct herself for this trip and the event. With nothing but excitement, Swagata started her journey from India to experience the first foreign trip that would be the turning point in her career and life. "The entire trip was sponsored by the Dubai Media City community, and my project was selected because I had touched upon sensitive topics about unity and brotherhood," explains Swagata. While exploring the submissions of different nations, Swagata was convinced that her project would not stand a chance against many well-thought and executed media works. But in 2005, Swagata won the Radio feature award by Ibda'a and His Royal Highness of Dubai for her brilliant work on Hindu-Muslim riots.
The success travelled far and wide as she soon became a media sensation overnight across the media world. Along with global recognition, Swagata's prize was to work at Arabian Radio Network (ARN), Dubai's top conglomerate of radio stations. But her lack of experience as a professional RJ prompted her to return to India and gain relevant insight into the job.
The Beginning of Swagata's Radio Career and Voice Coach Days
After coming to India, Swagata got the opportunity to work at Big FM (Kolkata), which was just opening their station, as a trainee for a year. While she was not an RJ there, the job helped her attain suitable experience as a copywriter, which guided her on writing radio shows and producing them. It was the beginning of Swagata's RJ career, which started from ARN in Dubai. "After working for ARN, she decided to come back to India and got a job at Fever 104, which was surveying the Kolkata radio market before opening up to the listeners. "I was the first employee of Fever 104 in Kolkata. When they opened up after nearly 7 months, my morning show was quite a hit that had garnered many listeners. Eventually, when I realized that my warm voice was better suited for relationship-related content, I switched to such shows and began reading out poetries and shayaris, which became huge among the people," mentions Swagata.
Over the years, Swagata has transformed into a voiceover artiste and trainer, crediting her RJ career as the starting point of everything. As a voice trainer, Swagata has garnered an immense following from her students from all across the world and approach her through her website. As it is skill-based education, students learn through practice, and there are no textbook rules to master it; only practicing and following the tips results in mastering the nuances of voice training. She also offers Public Speaking and Communication classes for kids and IT professionals, which is hugely popular among Americans, Australians, Canadians, and Indians.
She has collaborated extensively across the entertainment and media industry, recently with Sunny Leone for a podcast show 'Confessions with Sunny Leone' for Gaana. She also trained a Bangladeshi actress to learn the nuances of Bengali. Besides, she is also a writer and remarks that writing comes to her naturally. Although Swagata is currently focused on creative professional writing, she says that drafting a story novel is a possibility.
Birth of 'Boyaam' – The Arts Curation and Interdisciplinary Art Platform
In Bengali, 'Boyaam' means a glass jar; the name signifies Swagata's approach toward filling her own glass jar of life with happiness, music and performing art. As a fellow artiste, Swagata knows the importance of art in life. She believes that new and emerging talent in the field of media, art, and music. "Through this platform, I promote young and aspiring artistes. I've been a performing artiste for 18 years, and I use this reputation to promote the new talent on Boyaam. Over the past couple of years, Boyaam has conducted several home concerts, with the first event being featured in the Outlook India magazine. In 2019, we also hosted a large outdoor event before the pandemic began," explains Swagata.
During the pandemic, Boyaam experienced similar challenges as any other business. As people started to practice physical distancing, the concerts and big events hosted by Boyaam saw a huge decline and eventually went to nil. While going online was an option, it did not fare well, and many times artistes went on without any pay. Yet, Swagata endured the time and kept the platform going, recovering from the ongoing pandemic.
Despite powering through a challenging time for Boyaam, Swagata maintains that she feels free and happy in her career. According to her, when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. "This is something I wish everyone knew and followed. Especially parents who deny their children the right and freedom to choose a profession of their liking," says Swagata.

Zidane to New York?…talks up again?
Several media outlets have reported on Zinedine Zidane's current trip to New York, fueling speculation that he is in talks with the MLS to join the Red Bulls. He was spotted at a New York Knicks game, rubbing elbows with Spike Lee, and he also attended a fashion week event to help promote the Adidas Y3 fashion line.
If RBNY does sign Zidane, a long shot at best, he would have to serve a six-game suspension for the infamous headbutting incident against Italy in the World Cup. It would provide the MLS with another infusion of talent, not to mention the publicity the signing would garner worldwide. Since Zidane is retired, RBNY would not have to pay a transfer fee to acquire the midfielder's services. He would most likely take Amado Guevara's spot in the lineup who was traded to Chivas USA for their Designated Player slot.

The World Team Championships with Emyr Evans
By The Squash Pod
We caught up with Emyr Evans to bring you some information about his time and performance at World Team Championships!
Playing for your country in any sport is an honour but in sports when you get to do this in a team format it must be even more special
The World Team Squash Championships is a Squash event involving 23 countries around the world. This year for the first time in 50 years the Team championships were held in Washington DC at the amazing club (Squash on Fire)
The 23 countries involved were:
England, France, Wales, Egypt, Germany, Scotland, New Zealand, Nigeria, Ireland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, USA, Canada, Columbia, Jamaica, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Kuwait, South Africa.
Emyr Evans Q&A
Q: What is it like playing team Squash for your country Emyr?
E: It is very special playing for your country. We travel all year round on our own normally so when we get the chance to play for our country in a team event it's nice to be part of it! I enjoy having everyone behind me and love how winning my matches help my team and when you are doing that for your country it means a lot! The support you get really spurs you on even more!!
Q: Who are the Welsh Team?
E: The Welsh team consists of Joel Makin, Peter Creed, Emyr Evans & Owain Taylor.
Q: What is the format of the championship?
E: The format of the championship is that teams or countries were split into groups of 4 teams/countries to each group. There was one group that had 3 teams in it due to there being 23 teams and it being an odd number. The top 2 teams qualify from each group and go into the top 12, and the seeds 1-4 had a bye straight into the quarter finals. The other team played off for 13/23. This wasn't like a normal knockout stage with top 16 due to there being an odd number.
Q: What was your impression of the World Team Champs being held at Squash on Fire in Washington DC?
E: I got a very good impression of the event; everything was very convenient and very well organised. The Hotel was only a 2 min walk to the Club so it was easy to go back and forth. The PSA were running the event so it really did feel like we were at a PSA event so it ran very smoothly with no problems at all. The club was very cool with glass courts and was right above a fire station!
Q: How did you get on personally at the championships?
E: I was pretty pleased with my week overall. The wins I had in the week was firstly against Nigeria and then I won 3-0 against Canada to Qualify out of our group. Then I won 3-2 against Hong Kong to make the quarters which was a big battle! Very long! I didn't need to play in the Semis as we had already won 2-0. Then we played against Egypt in the Semis where we lost 2-1 overall and I lost personally 3-1 to world ranked number 7. I gained a lot of confidence from the week so hopefully I can use it to push on more now!
Q: You say you have gained a lot of confidence from this, what are your targets from here?
E: My ranking is now 109 my next goal is to get top 100, step by step!! I am just trying to improve as a player as much as I can and hopefully that means the results will follow!!
Q: Did you get a chance to explore during any downtime in Washington?
E: We had one match a day so there wasn't much time to do things around Washington unfortunately. When you have matches you just want to rest as much as possible, with practicing in the day, having lunch and time to relax there isn't really time to explore. Most matches were late afternoon or early evening. If we had lunchtime matches then after we could go somewhere. At the start of the week we did a bit of shopping and sightseeing. We finished on the Friday so had Saturday free so we went to see the Whitehouse which was great. We spent a lot of time in the evenings going for food which was great for the team to spend time together in that way.

Home Environment Organisations Alliance for Green Socialism
Alliance for Green Socialism
The Alliance for Green Socialism is a political organisation devoted to the building of a peaceful, environmentally safe and socially responsible world. A world in which diversity is both respected and celebrated. A world in which relations are based on mutual understanding and not force, where rights and a decent life are available for all, not just the rich. The AGS believes this can come about by the development of a democratic, socialist and environmentally conscious society. Our two basic principles are summed up in our name.
Green is for a world where the serious issues of pollution and global warming are properly dealt with. This means tackling the oil-driven system of big business, which drives us into successive wars and conflicts.
Socialism is the opposite of such a system in which the needs of the people take priority and the power of big business is curbed. A key element in this being an expansion of various forms of public ownership, from taking the railways back into the state sector to an expansion of cooperatives.
Linking these two indivisible themes is a commitment to openness and democracy.

Warriors prop wants to stay and fight for senior shirt
Worcester Warriors: Kai Owen keen to stay and fight for spot
By Geoff Berkeley @geoffberkeleyWN Sports Reporter
Kai Owen. Picture: Robbie Stephenson/JMP
PROMISING prop Kai Owen is not interested in moving out on loan next season as he looks to fight for a place in Worcester Warriors' front row.
The academy ace, 20, made his senior debut in the European Challenge Cup last season and is now aiming to make his Gallagher Premiership bow.
Ethan Waller, 26, Callum Black, 33, and a fit-again Ryan Bower, 28, are expected to be the main contenders for the number one shirt next term.
But Owen who has just one first team outing to his name believes he can put pressure on the experienced trio.
Asked whether he would benefit from a loan move, Owen said: "I am keen to stay at Worcester and fight for my place.
"I want to be in the environment all the time and push the first-team players.
"There is so much competition, but I think they need that. They need to see the young boys coming up and showing that positions are there for the taking."
On his goals for the 2019-20 campaign, Owen added: "I have just got to take each day as it comes but hopefully I can make my Prem debut next season.
"I want to get a few more appearances with the first team and get more involved on the whole."
Owen was let go by Warriors when he was 17 before being recalled to play for Worcester Cavaliers in the Premiership Shield.
His consistent performances for the Cavaliers saw him earn a senior academy contract and get picked to feature against Stade Francais last October.
Owen came off the bench and won a scrum penalty in the closing moments as Warriors won 38-27 in Paris.
"That was a totally different experience," Owen said.
"Flying away with the team and being with those players was crazy.
"It was good though.
"Everyone kept me calm by talking to me all the time, giving me advice so I just had to go out there and put a shift in."
Owen has also achieved international honours having been called up to play for England under 20s in the Six Nations and in this summer's World Rugby U20 Championships in Argentina.
Although England finished fifth in the tournament Owen said the experience had given him a big morale boost ahead of next season.
"That has given me a whole heap of confidence," Owen said.
"It split the year up as well so you can go away, play with guys that are your age or a year younger and build more confidence.
"You can also get better as a player as there is so much talent and when you go back to Worcester your confidence is so much higher.
"It will be interesting to see how my body reacts in the summer. It will also be interesting to see what is different in pre-season as there have been quite a few boys that have come and gone.
"When I get back into the environment it will be nice to see some different people."

Annie, Dilworth Elementary mom, is hosting the 2nd Annual Cycle for St. Jude in honor of 4th grader, Zoe Oliver.
Questions? Email Annie at a_lenhart@yahoo.com !
In June 2016, 4th grader Zoe Oliver was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Several years later, in and out of remission, after multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and undergoing a grueling bone marrow transplant (that was made possible by her sister, Charlotte, being a match) Zoe's perseverance and strength pulled her through.
Zoe was looked after for 7 months at St. Jude by an amazing world class, highly-skilled, and passionate team of doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and many other types of health care providers, always treating her with compassion and kindness and always with the most professional attitudes.
The whole family was looked after by St. Jude, being housed free of charge so that they could all focus completely on Zoe's health.
This March will mark Zoe's one year post-transplant.
And this year, Zoe will be at the ride as a healthy participant!
